The Nightly: April 18th, 2025

1 week ago | cagesideseats.com | Metal Matt

Hello Nightly!!! So today was decent, went back to work today, and it wasn’t too bad, got a few PS2 games in today, but nothing too special, mainly spent much of the shift just rearranging the DVD section again. Just trying to get rid of the millions of copies of DVDs we have. Not sure why we have so many copies of XXX, or A Million Ways To Die In The West, but sure, go off.

Hello Nightly!!! So today was good, mainly stayed home and relaxed. Go back to work tomorrow, so we’ll see if we get anything cool in tomorrow there. Watched Life Or Something Like It, the number 1 movie on Netflix today. Watched it purely for Angelina Jolie. Unfortunately it was not very good. A shame because she’s actually very good in it, and I would like to see her do more comedies, cause I think she can be very funny, but this movie did not do her any favors.

Hello Nightly!!! So today was good, mainly did some comic and vinyl shopping. Got the new Daredevil: Hell Unleashed, Absolute Flash, Detective Comics, Nightwing, stuff like that. As far as the vinyl goes, ended up getting Cheech & Chong’s Sleeping Beauty, Blondie’s Parallel Lines, Led Zeppelin’s In Through The Out Door, and T. Rex’s The Slider. And just found out that one of my local vintage record stores are gonna be having an Earth Day sale this weekend, with everything being 20% off.

Hello Nightly!!! So today was pretty good, had the day off, mainly just laid around the house and later on in the day, I went to go see The Amateur with Rami Malik. It’s not getting amazing reviews or a bunch of buzz, which is a shame, because I really enjoyed it. It’s nothing you need to go and see right this second, but I would say it’s worth a matinee or so, it was a solid spy action thriller, there were a lot of good moments in this.

Hello Nightly!!! So today was pretty cool, mainly worked, and it was a decent shift. We got a PS1 in, as well as StarFox 64, so that was pretty cool. Other than that, nothing too noteworthy happened. Oh, we also got in a bunch of doormats. Mainly gaming, but some music ones as well, including AC/DC and Pink Floyd. We also got in some Transformers build model kits, which look pretty cool, and the prices on them are actually pretty good and fair for those types of things.

Hello Nightly!!! So today was pretty solid, mainly worked, wasn’t too busy. There was a convention here in town, so there was a bit of overlap from that. Mainly an anime/gaming con, the voice of Master Shake was there, so that was pretty cool. I really should go one day in the future, never actually been to any kind of convention, I’m sure it’s fun. Right now, jamming to the new Epica album.

Hello Nightly!!! So today was solid, literally just got home. Work was good, but not much happened. Got in some decent retro games, mainly Lion King and Aladdin on Sega Genesis, as well as a NES Advantage controller, but other than that, not much really happening. SmackDown sounded alright. The way they’re booking Zelina sounds kind of disappointing. A win by count out? That’s some Lana style booking. They really can’t just do Zelina vs. Chelsea for the U.S. title at Wrestlemania?

Hello Nightly!!! So today was my day off, and didn’t do anything today. Just relaxed. Have a few longer shifts ahead of me this weekend, so I wanted to try and rest and relax as much as humanly possible. Other than that, not much happened today. Might play a game later tonight, just not sure which one. I have been in the mood to play an older wrestling game, just have to figure out which one I would actually want to play. Perhaps one from the early PS2 era. Actually, I do have something to talk about.

Hello Nightly!!! So today was pretty good, caught up on a few comics and got some new ones. Unfortunately the new Absolute Batman was sold out, but I did get new Batman Dark Patterns, Action Comics, Daredevil, and even found the first Tomb Raider comic from around 99 or so, so that was a cool find. Also worked for a few hours tonight, and it went alright. Not much to really say, just a short and sweet shift.

Hello Nightly!!! So had the day off today and it was pretty good. Did a double feature of Hell Of A Summer and A Working Man. Hell Of A Summer was pretty solid, nothing special, but a solid homage to 80s slasher films, but it didn’t quite stick the landing. Lighting was bad for much of the film, and the story needed more polishing. But overall, it’s a solid slasher flick that would be worth checking out when it goes on Netflix or Hulu or something like that.
